I read the CoC and thought “who can disagree with that?” Then I read you link and I see the disagreement is not about the CoC but about a manifesto written by the same person. They can’t criticize the CoC, so they have to resort to this.

The funny thing is all of these people go on about "meritocracy", yet they resort to digging up stuff on a person in order to criticize them. I don't remotely agree with everything Coraline says either, but her contribution here is the CoC, and it's Just Fine.

She isn't pushing anything into Linux; Linus committed that into the kernel tree himself. If you believe in the code and the commits, as everyone seems to love to claim, then you'll judge the CoC on its own merits, not whatever else the author has written.

Have you read the CoC? It's pretty much "don't be a dick" in a few more words. And regardless of what you think about the underlying politics, you're being a dick by calling Coraline a "he".
